Postpartum Care

Like our prenatal care and delivery support, postpartum care is true to the midwifery model of care.

All women and families benefit immensely from several postpartum visits done in the privacy of the home, beginning with one within the first couple days of discharge.

We provide support for the woman's physical recovery after birth, carefully assess newborns for normal behavior and vital signs, offer highly specialized lactation support, perform a PAP smear at the final postpartum visit if needed, provide family planning counseling, file your baby’s birth certificate, apply for their social security card and of course provide plenty of education.

All families will receive 3-4 postpartum visits:

• Within the first 24-48 hours after birth

• At 3-5 days

• At 2 weeks

• At 6 weeks
